摘要

We build and study an individual based model of the telomere length’s evolution in a population across multiple generations. This model is a continuous time typed branching process, where the type of an individual includes its gamete mean telomere length and its age. We study its Malthusian’s behaviour and provide numerical simulations to understand the influence of biologically relevant parameters.
